My thoughts exactly, I thought. And then the Steam sale started and I got an email from Steam saying "5 items from your Steam wishlist are on sale!". So much for those thoughts :-P I don't know about all five but I've been itching to play NieR:Automata. The other four are Flashback, Fallout 4 season pass, The Witness and House of the Dying Sun. The Fallout 4 season pass is something I'm kinda interested in. I've been thinking about FO4 a lot, planning character builds and such. With my first try with FO4 I got as far as building the first settlement. After that ho hum experience I just quit and didn't come back. If I do a play through I think it'll be quite sans any settlement building no matter what I might lose... Still, I think I'll pick up the DLC much later, when I've actually played the main game. The other three have significant discounts and aren't full price anyways. Might as well snap them up but we'll see.
